  • Patent number: 10510387
    Abstract: A method for driving a non-volatile memory system is disclosed. A standby detection circuit detects whether the nonvolatile memory system is in a standby condition. In response to determining that the non-volatile memory system is in a standby condition, a bias control circuit reduces bias currents provided to drivers of the non-volatile memory system in a standby mode. The non-volatile memory system is operated in the standby mode after the bias currents have been reduced, where an output signal indicating the standby mode is maintained until a read instruction is detected.

  • Patent number: 9608615
    Abstract: A biasing circuit includes cascoded transistors including a first transistor and a second transistor. A first gate of the first transistor is coupled to a second gate of the second transistor at a first node. The circuit also includes a voltage control circuit coupled to at least one of the first transistor or the second transistor. The voltage control circuit is configured to change a voltage level of at least one of the first transistor or the second transistor to allow voltage domain transition of an output signal in view of a change in state of an input signal without ramping a supply signal of the biasing circuit.

  • Patent number: 9129686
    Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods for providing high voltage to memory devices are provided. One apparatus includes a low voltage input and a two-rail level shifting. The two-rail level shifting is configured to increase the low voltage or to decrease the low voltage to an amount that is less than or equal to a ground potential based on the amount of the low voltage. A system includes a low voltage input for receiving a voltage and a two-rail level shifting coupled to the low voltage input. The two-rail level shifting is configured to increase the voltage to a positive voltage if the voltage is equal to a ground potential and decrease the voltage to a negative voltage if the voltage is greater than the ground potential. One method includes receiving a voltage, modifying the voltage to generate one of a plurality of output voltages, and providing the output voltage to a memory device.

  • Patent number: 5854568
    Abstract: A voltage boost circuit allows a reference input voltage to be boosted in a manner that is less sensitive to variations in power supply voltage levels, temperature, and semiconductor process used. A nominal boost voltage of approximately 1.5 volts is supplied, even at very low power supply voltages. A boost voltage less than 1.5 volts is supplied down to power supply voltages of approximately 1.8 volts.
